We build real, contextual backlinks from genuine SaaS and tech websites — not directories, not link farms, not PBNs. Every link is reviewed by a human, approved by you, and tracked in a monthly report you can actually understand.
Most agencies sell "link building" as a generic service — the same package whether you're a local bakery or a $10M ARR SaaS platform. That approach doesn't work for software companies, and here's why.
SaaS buyers don't behave like normal shoppers. They read comparison articles, "best tools for X" roundups, integration guides, and review sites before they ever fill out a signup form. Your backlink profile needs to live in that same world — on tech blogs, SaaS directories, developer communities, and B2B publications your actual buyers are reading. A link from a recipe blog or a generic "business news" site does almost nothing for a project management tool, no matter how high its Domain Rating looks.
SaaS link building, done properly, means every single link comes from a site that is topically relevant to software, technology, or B2B — and ideally one that your target customer would actually visit.
If you've worked with agencies before, you've probably seen one (or all) of these:
We built Saalinko specifically to fix these problems. Every site we pitch goes through a manual relevance and traffic check before it's added to your target list — and you see that list before we send a single email.
We start by pulling the backlink profiles of your top 3–5 competitors using Ahrefs and SEMrush. This tells us which sites are already linking to companies similar to yours — meaning those publishers are proven to accept SaaS content and link to software brands. This becomes the foundation of your target list.
Before any outreach begins, you receive a spreadsheet of target domains with DR, estimated organic traffic, niche relevance, and the proposed link type (guest post, niche edit, or resource link). You can remove any site you don't want — no link goes live on a domain you haven't seen.
Our outreach team contacts site owners and editors directly — no automated mass-emailing tools. For guest posts, our writers (who specialise in SaaS and B2B topics) produce a unique, useful article tailored to that publication's audience. For niche edits, we identify an existing, ranking article where your link adds genuine value to the reader, and pitch the edit to the site owner.
Once a placement goes live, it's added to your shared report immediately — you don't wait until month-end to see results. Each monthly report shows the live URL, the page DR/traffic at time of placement, the anchor text used, and the link type.
💡 Our replacement guarantee: If any link is removed by the publisher within 6 months of going live, we replace it with an equivalent or better placement at no extra cost.
A full article written specifically for a target publication, including a natural, contextual link back to your site. Best for building topical authority and getting in front of a new audience. Read more on our guest posting service page.
Your link is added to an existing, already-indexed article that's relevant to your niche. Because the page is already ranking and has link equity, niche edits tend to pass authority faster than brand-new content. See our niche edits page for details.
We pitch your SaaS for inclusion in existing "best [category] tools" and resource pages — these pages already rank for high-intent commercial keywords, and a mention here often drives referral signups directly, not just SEO value.
We check Ahrefs/SEMrush estimated traffic — not just the DR number — before approving any domain.
The site must publish content related to SaaS, software, tech, or your specific B2B niche.
Links sit naturally within content a human would actually read — never in footers, sidebars, or link directories.
We vary anchor text (brand, partial-match, naked URL) to keep your profile looking organic to Google.
Link building is a compounding strategy, not a quick fix — and we'd rather be upfront about timelines than promise overnight rankings.
If your current DR is below 30, expect faster relative DR movement early on. If you're already at DR 50+, growth is slower but each link tends to have a bigger impact on competitive keyword rankings.
It depends on your competitors' link velocity and your current DR. Most early-stage SaaS companies see solid progress with 5–8 quality links per month; companies targeting highly competitive keywords often need 12+ per month to keep pace. We'll recommend a number based on your audit, not a one-size-fits-all package.
No — and any agency that guarantees a specific DR number is not being honest with you. DR depends on factors outside any single agency's control, including your existing site health, content quality, and Google's algorithm updates. What we do guarantee is the quality, relevance, and delivery of every link in your campaign.
Yes. We share proposed anchor text with you before each placement goes live, and you can request changes at any time.
This is covered under our replacement guarantee for the first 6 months — we'll secure a new placement of equal or greater value at no additional cost.
